Patent GB-348560-A (GB)
Abstract: 348,560. Modifying cable circuits to improve transmission. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. and LATIMER, K. E., Columbia House, Aldwych, London. Jan. 7, 1930, No. 607. [Class 40 (iv).] In assembling manufactured lengths to form a cable in which reflection is minimized, account is taken of the fact that the impedance of a length is not uniform. The characteristic impedance of each length is measured by means of the bridge shown in Fig. 1, at a frequency e.g. 20,000 such that the wave length is of the same order as the lengths of cable, from each end and the sections are then assembled so that the impedance is distributed in a manner that can be represented by a smooth curve, Fig. 4, or by one having a regular pattern, Fig. 6, it being assumed that the distribution of impedance within the length follows a linear law. Where all the lengths are the same the invention is carried out directly from the above two measurements on each section, but where the lengths are unequal, e.g. because it has been necessary to halve one or more lengths because they or other lengths could not be fitted into the desired scheme of allocation, further measurements are necessary to determine the characteristic impedances of the end portions of each length or calculations are made to discover the difference between such characteristic impedances and these values are used instead of those referred to above.

Convention date, Dec. 18, 1930. [Class 64 (ii).] A circulating hot water heating system comprises a boiler 1, pump 2, heat consumers 4, and a heat accumulator 6, the upper and lower parts of which are connected by pipes 8, 9 with the delivery and return pipes 3, 5, the consumers 4 being connected in the branch of the delivery pipe leading to the bottom of the accumulator. A valve 10, which closes with increasing pressure, and opens with falling pressure, or is controlled by the temperature of the circulating water, is inserted in a branch of the return pipe 9 leading to the upper part of the accumulator. A valve 11 is connected in the branch 8, and a valve 12 in the return pipe each increases the flow-through area with increasing pressure, and reduces it with falling pressure. The peak loads are thereby compensated so that, independently of the consumption, any desired quantity of heat may be supplied to the boiler, the mean supply of heat corresponding to the mean consumption of heat. The consumption fluctuations of heat consumers connected by a pipe 43 to the steam space of the boiler may similarly be equalized.

The hot gas may be at a temperature of 750-1100 DEG  C.  The height of the chamber may be 3-10 m.  The time of contact may be 5-20 sec. The size of the particles of sprayed liquid is preferably 50-200 m .  The hot gas may be producer gas or gas produced by the combustion of gaseous or liquid fuel.

Magnesium chloride containing one or more of the compounds calcium, sodium and potassium chloride, e.g. as obtained from the mother liquor remaining after the crystallization of carmallite, may be used.  The reaction may be conducted such that these chloride impurities are not decomposed, so that the resulting magnesium oxide may be purified by washing with water.  The hydrogen chloride also produced may be recovered by washing with water or hydrochloric acid.  The lower limit for the concentration of hydrogen chloride in the gas produced, for efficient operation is considered to be 7 per cent.  In the case of magnesium chloride this concentration is produced at a temperature of 500 DEG C.  As shown, sprayed liquid from nozzle 4 is decomposed in a reactor 1 by hot gas introduced through pipe 7.  The oxide produced is withdrawn at 3, while the resulting gas passes through a cyclone separator 9 and then through a scrubber 12 in counter-current to an absorbent liquid.

Title: Improvements in methods of drying and impregnating wood

Filed: 1932-12-15
Abstract: 412,175. Treating wood. WILL, H. E., 53A, Br³derstrasse, Remscheid, Germany. Dec. 15, 1932, No. 35617. [Class 140.] Wood is dried and impregnated by treatment with steam and the vapour of the impregnating agent in superheated condition and moving with a velocity of at least several metres per second. During a drying or impregnating operation, a constant ratio is maintained between the velocity of circulation and the degree of superheat, but these two factors are progressively reduced during the operation. To determine this ratio, thermometers are introduced at different distances from the surface of a specimen of the wood to be treated. For a given speed of circulation, the degree of superheat is varied until the curve showing the relation between temperature and distance from the surface is parabolic, whereupon the required ratio is determined. The operations may be conducted under reduced or elevated pressure. Steam or oil of turpentine vapour may be used as " catalytic " agent to facilitate impregnation, e.g. with a phenol-turpentine mixture. The operations may be conducted in container m, into which the timber is run on carriages b. A series of variable speed fans g circulate the steam, which is formed from the wood and rapidly displaces the air initially present. The impregnating agent is admitted through a perforated pipe i, and passes with the vapour current through heating apparatus h.
